Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Retro Pak's song "Carpe Diem" suggest that time is fleeting, and we should make the most of each moment. The phrase "carpe diem" translates to "seize the day," and this theme is echoed in the lyrics. The singer laments that "another night slipped away," but also acknowledges that there may not be any words left to say. The second and third lines of the verse are repeated twice for emphasis, underscoring the idea that sometimes words are not necessary. The singer then mentions that we might be "blind to the fact" that time is passing, but also notes that there are opportunities every day to make the most of our lives. The final line of the verse suggests that we should live as if each day were our last, by partying, chilling, drinking, and telling jokes until we laugh.
